Arm post sizes and compatibility across different gimbal and arm models

What the thread found

  • Master Series, Ultra, Shadow, and M1 gimbals use arm posts approximately 0.740 inches in diameter
  • 3A, PRO ARM, Titan, Atlas, and X1 use arm posts approximately 0.621 to 0.623 inches in diameter
  • Flyer, Pilot, Archer, and ProVid use arm posts approximately 0.493 to 0.495 inches in diameter
  • Arm post sizes are nominal with tolerance built into either the post or the gimbal handle to ensure proper fit
  • PRO arm posts tend to be undersized compared to their nominal specification to allow for smooth insertion into gimbal handles
  • A gimbal can accept different arm posts if an appropriately sized arm is available to bridge the incompatibility

Depends on

  • Exact measurements vary slightly between manufacturers and individual pieces
  • The source discusses multiple models but does not clarify which manufacturer produces each model
  • Information about grub screw specifications mentioned but not answered in the thread
  • Compatibility between specific models like G50 and Pro sled requires confirmation with correct arm post adapter
